Lakers Draft Plans

With no cap space, millions of dollars dripping over the luxury tax line and constant uncertainty over who will be a part of this Lakers team next season, the Lakers seem to be interested in building through the draft for the first time in years.

Since the Lakers start out the day with no draft picks in the first round and only the Mr. Irrelevant selection at their disposal with the 60th pick in the draft.

While in the hours leading up to the draft the Lakers continue to be without a first-rounder, that doesn't mean they won't be trying to get into the first round.

No. 60 Pick, Robert Sacre, C, Gonzaga

As far as 60th overall picks go, this is a pretty darn good one. If you can get a guy who plays tough defense, blocks some shots and stands his ground down low, you've got to go for it.

Robert Sacre is no athlete, but he's no louse on the floor either.

As far as defense goes, he's smart. He may not be a great rebounder and his arms may be a little bit short, but he's going to play smart defense and he's going to be a good backup big man in the future.

Offensively, Sacre has some post moves, although he didn't get the ball in the post all that often in college, as he was a pretty darn good shooter.

Final Analysis

Final Grade: B-

Let's be realistic: what were the Lakers really going to do heading into this draft?

There continues to be heavily speculation around a potential Pau Gasol trade, but the Lakers were never going to come out of this draft with an impact prospect given the current construction of the team's roster.

Given that the club is in "win-now" mode, no young player is going to come in and make an instant impact on a regular basis.

The team was able to come away with an intriguing athlete and another seven-footer, but it's hard to see a scenario where either figures into the Lakers' plans immediately.
